Happy Holidays! It's the "12 Docs of Christmas" in this special episode with Oscar nominated producer and documentary veteran Justin Lacob as he joins Jimmy to present his curated list of 12 essential documentaries we should all see before it's too late!

Jimmy is joined by former Food Network president Courtney White as the two of them draft competing lists of the greatest food shows of all-time. Plus, Courtney offers her unfiltered take on the differences between west coast TV execs vs east coast TV execs!

After polling executives, producers and agents across the industry, Jimmy and guest Ben Bitonti compile a list of the "New Rules" for the Reality TV business. From phone call/email etiquette, zoom meeting protocols to how many pages should your pitch deck be - the business will forever be changed from this day forward... or not.

Recorded earlier this year, Allison Wallach discusses the many hats she has worn in the industry from producer, to agent, to network executive.  Allison and Jimmy discuss their favorite all-time FOX reality franchises and how their current crop of reality series differs from the past and why "earnest" is no longer a bad word.

Executive Producer, TV host and podcast personality Carlos King is one of the busiest men in the industry! In this sit down with Jimmy, Carlos traces the beginnings of his career back to him completely hustling the system to land a coveted internship at Def Jam Records. Before too long he found his way to The Real Housewives of Atlanta where he began at the very bottom of the food chain before rising to become the show's showrunner. Carlos then launched his production company and never looked back creating series such as OWN's Love & Marriage franchise and as well as Belle Collective. Carlos is one of the few producers who has made the transition in front of the camera becoming a seasoned TV and podcast host in his own right.
